Improving health and wellbeing through exercise and physical activity is increasingly important in today’s sedentary world. This program aims to introduce students to methods used in exercise science to assess health status, provide basic exercise delivery, and understand the beneficial effect on human physiology. The program also introduces students to key skill areas in exercise and sport science including biomechanics, exercise physiology, basic data analysis, and technology in sport. It is a pathway to university study in the field of exercise and sports science at The University of Notre Dame, Australia and develops the necessary tertiary skills to succeed.

An introductory sports course designed by industry professionals. You’ll cover topics in health and exercise related to human bodies and wellbeing. Build key skills in sports science, including using data and technology for better outcomes.

Foundations of Psychology

Electrical and Electronic Systems

This course addresses how physical activity affects health status and the risks associated with chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, obesity, arthritis, and mental illness. Students will examine the physiological processes of common chronic conditions and how physical activity/exercise may need to be adapted to ensure that it can be completed safely in these populations. Students will also learn about behaviour change strategies for optimising lifelong adherence to physical activity/exercise.

Chronic Disease and Exercise Management

Exercise and Healthy Living investigates how physical activity and health lifestyle choices are important across the lifespan focusing particularly on strategies used to prolong physical activity involvement as we age. Current health statistics are examined, which for varying groups of Australians can influence the implications and promotion of health strategies in the community. Successful health promotion initiatives encouraging healthy lifestyles are explored as are partnerships within community groups, government and non-government sectors in this area.

Exercise and Healthy Living

This subject will enable students to learn how to write an individualised exercise program to meet those needs. Students will be shown the fundamentals of exercise prescription and delivery to provide a basic program for healthy individuals. Concepts of progression and program modification will be identified.

Fundamentals of Exercise Programming

This subject will enable students to develop knowledge of the battery of anthropometric and physical tests available for human performance assessment, as well as performing health risk screening and appraisal techniques specific to exercise programmes for healthy individuals. These include measures of strength, endurance, sub maximal and maximal fitness testing and athlete profiling. Students will be able to identify which assessments are required for individuals with different exercise goals in the promotion of health and fitness.

Health and Exercise Performance Testing

This subject extends students’ knowledge of Calculus. The subject covers differential equations, series, multivariable functions, integration, partial differential equations and applications of these theories including modelling physical problems.

Advanced Calculus

This subject introduces students to areas of discrete mathematics. The subject covers relations, including equivalence relations and partial orderings; algorithms; areas of number theory, including induction and recursion; proofs; and graph theory, including an introduction to trees and their applications.

Discrete Mathematics

This subject introduces students to Calculus, a fundamental area of mathematics involved in studying the behaviour of single variable functions. The subject covers limits, differentiation, integration and the applications of calculus, including maximising and minimising functions.

Calculus

This subject is designed to provide an introduction to the area of linear algebra. The subject introduces vectors and vector spaces covering addition of vectors, scalar multiplication and the geometric meaning of vectors. The theory of matrices is also developed and includes matrix addition and multiplication, inverse matrices, determinants and the use of Gaussian elimination to solve systems of equations. Matrix theory is also applied to the study of linear transformations.

Linear Algebra

Principles of Mathematics covers the important basic concepts in algebra and trigonometry that a tertiary student is expected to master to undertake advanced mathematical concepts at upper level mathematics courses at the University of Notre Dame. The subject is designed to further the knowledge of students in the fields of polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithm and trigonometric functions. The student is also expected to understand and apply trigonometric identities and functions to solve practical mathematical problems. The subject also covers analytical geometry and topics in matrices, sequences and systems of linear equations. Overall the subject provides a strong grounding in algebra and trigonometry at a tertiary level for further advanced mathematical studies. This subject is an essential part of the mathematics program and is specifically designed in consultation with education providers to meet the needs of teacher training for Education students.

Principles of Mathematics

This subject is designed to further the knowledge of students on number analysis, using statistical measures and using tools to visualise numbers and patterns such as using Microsoft Excel and the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). It provides a broad introduction to statistical practice and data analysis techniques. It aims to equip students with a basic understanding of statistics, such that they are able to employ appropriate methods of analysis in various circumstances. The techniques learnt are widely used in the sciences, social sciences, business areas and many other fields of study. This subject is an essential part of the mathematics program and is specifically designed in consultation with education providers to meet the needs of teacher training for Education students.
